THE GREAT THRoNG ORDERLY.
Along the line OF march the masses
were noisy, though orderly, and, for the
most part, kept the line of the curbs on
either side, but 10000 young Americans,
from to 20 years old, defed cavalry, in
fantry, artillery and police, broke through
all restraints and chung to the carriages,
and when driven from one, fastened them
selves to another, lodged blows from the
batons of the police and ran around and
under the horses of the escort, and suf-
fered everything, apparently, but death or
mutilation, to keep in line. twas thought
that human possibilities, in the way of ex-
ultant crowds, had reached a elimination
at st. Louis, but it was matter of re-
mark among visitors that, In point of
numbers, Chicago had gone beyond.
UNFoUNDED RUMoR.
Mrs. Cleveland became fatigued and
left the carriage at the Palmer house, be-
ing escorted directly to her rooms, where
she rested quietly for several hours. Re-
ports that she had been taken suddenly
ill were circulated, but they were un-
founded. Mrs. Cleveland was very tired,
but nothing more serious, and she was
afterwards with the president, receiving
the public in the throng of the hotel.
CHICAGO, October 6.-Swarms of people
again filled the approaches to the Palmer
house this afternoon, eagerly watching for
a glimpse of President Cleveland when he
should emerge for drive to the Interna-
tional military encampment. Half a
dozen mounted police had no little trou-
BILE in clearing passage for the presiden-
tial carriage, which was drawn by four
spanking bays. The sky was lowering
and everyone was predicting rain would
fall before the president co1ld make a
start. Not drop fell, however, and at
8:45 Mr.. Cleveland, looking but little
worse for his wholesale Misunderstanding of
the previous day, appeared at the arched
doorway with hat dotted, and many good
natured bow to the cheering crowd. He
lightly sprang into the waiting carriage
and in trice was whirling through the
thick of the business district and out
Washington boulevard to the encamp-
ment. He was accompanied by Mayor
Roche, General Terry and dozen lesser
dignitaries.
Early as it was, and threatening as was
the day, the sidewalks along the entire
route were lined with people, including
thousands who, Notwithstanding the
strenuous all day and evening
efforts yesterday, failed to see
the president or his wife in the general
confusion prevailing.
! A ludicrous incident occurred at the
entrance to the encampment grounds.
The presidents carriage got stuck in the
mud. There was not moments time to
spare, and the prancing bays we're smartly
dashed. 1t was nip and tuck with the mad,
that was made thick and sticky by the
rain during the night. Finally the vehi-
Gle containing the chief magistrate gave
terrific lurch forward, and was gone from
the cheering crowd. rapid drive past
two or three thousand troops drawn up in
line, laundering salute from the artil-
lery and bows and smiles to a couple of
thousand spectators in the stands COM
pleted the ceremonies at the encamp
ment. Without delay the president
boarded the train for the depot down
town, from which start for Milwaukee
was to be made. 1t lacked but five
minutes of 10, schedule time of the start
for Milwaukee, when he arrived. Mrs
Cleveland had preceded him byhalf an hour
Mrs. Cleveland gazed out from the window
of her car with a decided interest that
heightened when the president stepped
from the incoming train on the adjoining
train and briskly walked to her side al
once. cheer of entreaties went up fol-
them to come out on the platform.
"We want to see Mrs. Cleveland" anC
"three cheers for Grover" were the cries
When Mrs. Cleveland, in her queen travel
ing dress, and the president with head un
covered appeared at the rear door of the
train mighty cheer rolled through tn,
depot. Just then the train began tt
move. bucst of sunshine lit up thu
scene, and, while the multitude yelled it
self hoarse, the president and his fail
young wife waived farewell to Chicago

MILWAUKEE, October 6.-There was bu

Mrs. Cleveland shows no traces o.
